Nobuyoshi Araki (Japanese, b. 1940) is arguably one of Japan’s greatest living photographers. and certainly its most controversial. A prolific artist, influenced by Shunga, the erotic art of the Japanese Edo period, as well as the sexually charged, glossy, contemporary culture, Araki’s work confronts taboo subjects such as sex, nudity, violence and death. Exhibited widely in Japan and internationally. His inexhaustible creative energy is attested to by the more than 300 books he has published in the last four decades. (source)
